Around Xela

This picture is taken from the inside of a beautiful old building next to the park (parquet). Note the clouds - it has been intermittently rainy this week, which everyone keeps telling me is practically unheard of in February here. Xela basically has two seasons - the rainy season, which I think runs from like April or so until October, then the non-rainy season. The temperature doesn't vary much, although it does warm up slightly beginning around now.


This is from the top of one of the streets in Xela. Those elbows belong to Holland, who is taking a picture with his camera. Note the volcano in the background.


This is inside Cafe La Luna, a little cafe with delicious hot chocolate. We go there to study sometimes...when it's open. The owner tends to close up shop when she feels like it during the day.

This is inside Cafe Baviera, another studying haunt. They have delicious crepes. The thing that always amazes me is that they keep all these lovely fresh flowers in the fountain.


This is a mall we went to today. The whole thing is one big spiral. In the background is the really old church in the park.
